Esther Shears (12 Apr 1936 - 19 Oct 2019)

We are so sorry to hear that lovely Aunty Esther had passed. A lovely lady who I have fond memories of xxxx

Another big day today Mum - Frankie was 18 - can you believe it! You once said to me "take your time enjoy the little moments as one day they will be gone" - Gosh how right you were. We went to a lovely restaurant over looking your island Herm. She also bought her first alcoholic drink with your birthday money - which I know you would have loved; she had a frozen Strawberry Daiquiri.

So many presents as well!! Emma bought her a lovely Ted Baker bag, JW watch and a Frankie sausage dog towel.

As you can imagine lots of balloons and bunting - i hope that i did you proud as I know that this would have been your job.
